Yes, there is a way to turn off all system beeps from the Registry (except beeps linked with the bios. I can't figure how to turn them off)

1. click start and click the Run icon.
2. type in regedit or regedit32.exe or regedit.exe
3. nagivate your way to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound\ . You will find an 
entry called "beep" (without the quotation marks)
4. All you have to do is replace the "yes" entries  with "no" , again, without the 
quotation marks and you are set.

Please note that it's very dangerous to play with the system registry if you don't 
know what you are on about.

I hope this helps!!!
